  • The Inca Trail
    Adventure tours that delve deeper The Inca Trail TRIP LENGTH: Four days STARTS AND ENDS: Cusco One of the world’s most famous treks, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu deserves its fame: the beauty of the scenery on this hike, and the satisfaction of seeing ruins that you can only get to by walking, is incomparable. Walking the track is only permitted with an accredited guide, so any hiker coming to Peru will want to book an Inca Trail guided tour. Inca trail permits can run out months in advance – so if you know you want to hike the Inca Trail, you should book it as soon as you can to confirm your space. Day 1 Start hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu We’ll pick you up at 6am and head to Kilometre 82, the start of the Inca Trail. The hike begins in the Sacred Valley as we follow the Urubamba River, climbing ever higher and eventually heading off up the Cusicacha Valley, through semi-arid forest and farming villages, to Wayllabamba, where we’ll camp for the night. Accommodation: Camping on the Inca Trail Meals: Lunch and dinner included Walking: 12km (7.5 miles) Min. Altitude: 2,700m (8,860ft) Max. Altitude: 3,100m (10,170ft) Altitude of camp: 3,100m (10,170ft) Day 2 Hike over Warmiwayñusca Pass Most of our walking time today is taken up by a stiff 1,200m (3,940ft) ascent to Warmiwayñusca (Dead Woman’s Pass), the highest point of the Inca Trail. From here, if it’s clear, we’ll enjoy incredible views back the way we came, and onwards towards the distant, snow-capped Vilcabamba Range.

  • PERÚ - IMPERIO DEL SOL El Corazón Del Imperio Inca
    PERÚ - IMPERIO DEL SOL El corazón del Imperio Inca De todas las antiguas culturas que poblaron el Perú desde mucho antes que los Incas fundaran su Imperio el Tahuantinsuyu, los Aymara y los Quechua son los que más tradiciones y costumbres conservan hasta hoy, así como sus lenguas, consideradas idiomas oficiales del país. La Cultura Aymara se extiende por todo el Altiplano que rodea al Lago Titicaca. Este mundo de alturas donde nos resulta difícil comprender la vida cotidiana incluso sobre los 5.000 msnm, es uno de los principales enclaves culturales para comprender el mundo andino. En él se desarrolló el gran Imperio Tiahuanacu y de él proceden los Incas, según los mitos de origen. En el Lago Titicaca vivió la etnia más antigua del Continente Americano: los Uru. Aun sus descendientes conservan su dialecto, que hablan en las Islas flotantes construidas de totora, con la paciencia de amontonar uno a uno estos juncos del Titicaca. Este viaje recorre las tierras que dieron origen al Perú Imperial, desde el Altiplano a los Andes, como si el tiempo no hubiera transcurrido en lo más alto del Perú. ITINERARIO: Día 1º: Llegada a Lima Llegada al aeropuerto Jorge Cháves de Lima. Recepción y traslado al hotel. Resto del día libre, para poder pasear mientras descansamos del viaje, en las cercanías del hotel, por la nostálgica Lima virreinal, con sus miradores al Pacífico y mucho ambiente durante toda la noche. Alojamiento. Día 2º: Lima. Visita a la ciudad Desayuno. Por la mañana visitaremos esta antigua ciudad, conocida como la Ciudad de los Reyes, “3 veces coronada”, que guarda, nostálgica, entornos de las épocas por las que ha ido pasando, desde su fundación en 1.535: colonial, virreinal, republicana y modernista.

This trip combines cultural exploration of the Urubamba Valley, the celebrated "Sacred Valley of the Incas" and hikes in the less visited and uncrowded Lares region north of Cusco. Lares is noted for its rural atmosphere, traditional weavers attired in colorful dress, and roving herds of alpacas and llamas - truly an authentic slice of Peruvian life. Comfortable mountain lodges provide the base for day hikes to remote passes with panorama views of waterfalls, snowy peaks, and turquoise glacial lakes; and to tiny Andean highland communities that retain much of their traditional culture where we can meet farmers and weavers.
